Solutions for k = 9

These are the publically known solutions. To my knowledge, an exhaustive search has yet to be carried out, though it is known that all the solutions for this length begin with 2 and the vast majority begin 2, 3, ...

Solutions for k = 13

Mathworld tells us that the last three numbers of this solution exceeds forty digits each, though I'm sure that it's still within Mathematica's capabilities to calculate and display these numbers. So as soon as I figure out how to calculate them based on the numbers I already know, I will put them in here.

Doublechecking the solutions

To be absolutely sure I had the correct solutions, I used the following Mathematica function, defined by Alonso Delarte:

Of course I wonder if there's a more efficient way to express the deleted product than by multiplying the whole set and then dividing the element you didn't want in the product to begin with. Also, note that this function does not check that the elements are distinct (thus, {1, 1, 1} is incorrectly flagged as a solution).

But other than these minor quibbles, the function works exactly as expected. I tried setting the attribute of the function to Listable, but that didn't work quite as I expected. Then I thought of using Notepad's Mass Replace to change the HTML table cell delimiters to "ZnamSolQ[{" and "}]" and pasting that into Mathematica (with linebreaks between each command). In a breeze, Mathematica spat out a long column of Trues.
